Job Description Summary The Data Engineer will design, build, and optimize scalable, secure data pipelines that power analytics and product platforms. For this role specifically, the focus will be on Machine Learning (ML) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) workloads, while contributing to innovation and ensuring compliance with healthcare industry standards. This role is expected to provide strong hands‑on technical expertise, collaborate across teams, and contribute to architecture decisions that align engineering practices with organizational goals. Job Description Design, build, and maintain reliable, high-performance data pipelines for large‑scale structured and unstructured healthcare data. Use PySpark and modern cloud‑based tools (Databricks, AWS Glue, EMR, Snowflake) to transform and process data efficiently. Support ingestion, transformation, and validation processes that ensure data consistency, integrity, and availability. Partner with Data Architects, Data Scientists, and Analysts to translate business needs into scalable engineering solutions. Collaborate with platform and DevOps teams to deploy, scale, and monitor data pipelines using Airflow and Kubernetes. Participate in code reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement efforts across the engineering team. Implement and maintain data validation frameworks to ensure pipeline accuracy and completeness. Contribute to best practices in version control, metadata management, and reproducibility. Stay current with emerging technologies in data engineering and cloud computing, recommending improvements to existing infrastructure. Participate in performance tuning, cost optimization, and scaling strategies for cloud‑based data systems. Identify automation opportunities to streamline ETL/ELT processes and reduce operational overhead. Share knowledge and mentor junior team members on tools, techniques, and best practices.
